I had the hardest time choosing between Arrowwood and Westwind (they are right next to each other),…read morebut in the end I went with Westwind due to the food menu. The food was incredible!!! Parking was easy to find, and it's across the street from the actual brewery. There's a lot of land and I like that they had cornhole and a cute shop with local goods and merch. There's a mix of outdoor and indoor seating, and we sat indoors since it was chilly (it's dog friendly). There is a sizable food menu, so we ordered the kale caesar salad and the capocollo pizza. We also got a cider flight and hot cider (not spiked but you can get it spiked). I looooooved the food, it was so good! Our salad came out pretty quickly and our pizza came out a bit after we finished eating the salad (they bring it to your table). I wasn't a fan of the hard ciders, but I loved my hot cider. There's also two gender neutral restrooms available indoors, as well as a cute array of ciders and merch for sale. I would def recommend coming here!

Terrible, overpriced food! We ordered the (small) pizza margarita for $17. The crust was like a…read morepiece of cardboard, very thin and stiff. The tomato sauce was out of a jar. No cheee, no basil. Simply horrible! We ordered pasta: cacio e pepe for $22 - Tiny portion, no salad or bread, etc. Pasta was not bad, just a very meager portion. With 1- 12 oz. beer and a lemonade, bill came to $60!! Unbelievable, a rip off and simply awful food!! That said, the outside areas were pleasant, lots of room for kids and dogs to play. But stay away from the overpriced terrible food!!

The scones and apple cider donuts are an absolute must-try. We also stopped by during breakfast and everyone coming in was ordering some sort of sandwich or bagel to-go. I tried the egg & cheese sandwich and can confirm that it's delicious - I was actually very impressed with how fluffy and thick the egg was!

They also had a very nice selection of apples and I was pleasantly surprised at the price. They have bread from a local bakery packed up in half-loaves or less (great for me) and that was also less expensive than I had expected. The real prize though, was the quiche! The bacon and caramelized onion quiche I got was AMAZING. OH! And if you happen to visit in autumn, you definitely want the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.

Once you arrive you check in and they either provide you with a strawberry basket or you drive right into the fields and they can give you a basket there too. Don't be shy to walk further into the fields where fewer people go! There's a tractor ride periodically that you can take to and from the main farm area if you don't want to drive down (about 10 min tractor ride vs 5 min drive). There's plenty of room and a lot space in the strawberry fields. Afterwards we did some fun activities like feeding the bunnies and playing on the wooden tractors they built, mini golf and the corn piles! They have bathrooms and food available onsite as well, very easily, as well as jam and snacks and toys to buy as souvenirs. The weather was amazing, not too sunny and not rainy - a lot of the activities are outdoors. Would definitely recommend!

My husband and I drive 70 miles each way to experience Helena's, and we were not disappointed. We…read moretook our roadster convertible out for a lively drive today and arrived around 1:00. We ordered 2 dozen pierogis, 12 of the potato and garlic and 12 of the spinach, potato and garlic. We took a seat at one of the tables and sat back and enjoyed our lunch. The pierogis were warm and delicious!! So fresh and tasty. People were coming in every 2 minutes and the line never stopped. Next time we will try her other flavors!

Before today my knowledge of apples was limited. Sweet apples are good, tart apples, not so good…read more As a previous review mentioned; if you have the pleasure to talk to John Wightman, you will walk away with a passion for apples that you would never have imagined possible. After filling a bag we ran into John as he was picking some Crab Apples. A half hour later and we had discussed everything from the chemical reaction that makes some apples sweeter than others, to his families history and what brought them to the area, to why planting a seed that you got from an apples, isn't necessarily going to produce an apples tree that produces apples that taste like the apple it came from (mind blown!). My son really fed off of John's excitement which was awesome to see. What if you don't run into John? You've still ended up at the best orchard within a 100 miles. I've been apple picking in the Hudson Valley for over 20 years. You see the same 4-5 variations of apples. However, once you see all of the variations that Wightman has, you'll feel cheated by the limited options at other orchards.

An amazing apple picking experience in Ulster County, Upstate New York…read more This farm is located at the foothills of the Catskills, you'll drive past a lot of darling diners and antique shops on your way up. Choose a size bag (small or large) to apple pick, and have a day! This property is so beautiful and peaceful to walk through. They also sell freshly picked grapes, house made apple cider donuts (mini!), bottled apple cider, and apple chips. You are lucky if you get a chance to talk with John or Zachary Wightman-- they are pomologists filled with apple picking knowledge! There really is so much science behind it all, which was fascinating to learn. Thank you to the Wightman family for opening this farm to the public for picking, we had a blast! CC
